Coffee Shop / John Deere GT242 Kawasaki regulator pinout
« on: May 01, 2013, 11:50:49 am »
Hello,
I am re-powering an old lawn tractor with a Kawasaki FC420V-ES10 motor. The motor did not come with any of the wiring or the regulator needed to charge the battery. I can source one on e-bay but suspect it connects to the original wire harness. (The regulator is 6 pin and the wires exiting the mower have less on the connector.) Would anyone have a schematic? Or know the pinout of the regulator? Also I am not to familiar with the starter on this unit. Is the solenoid attached to the starter? (So I don't need an external one) I believe the motor came from a John Deere GT242. I can't seem to locate a free service manual, and have a "basic wire diagram" but does not show how it's pinned out. Just where the connectors hookup. If I knew what the AC voltage and current leaving the stator, I could go from there with a custom regulator setup. But seeing there are just too many unknowns, I can't just build a circuit to properly charge the battery. (Would hate to just slap a couple diodes in it and over volt the battery.) Thus why I wanted the regulator pinout. Thank you for your time.
